Subject: Communication & Personality style

Communication is a two-way process which involves the conveyance of information from a source to a recipient be it an individual or a group. Based upon The Kiersey Temperament Test taken earlier this week, I am an ISFJ which is basically an introvert personality style with reflective communication style (The Kiersey Temperament Test, n.d.). In this memo I will discuss my ISJF personality style and how it affects my writing. I will also present any things I might do things I might do to improve my writing style, and also, how my personality relates to my communication style.

ISFJs have exceptional disciplined capabilities. As an ISJF I am an introvert with a feeling characteristic. ISJFs like me typically have strong people abilities and tend to form strong social associations. We are the judging type unfortunately but are habitually open to new ideas and changes. With ISFJ personality type, we are much more than the summation the components that make us. We use our strengths to define who we are. ISFJs have been described as “true altruists who meet kindness with kindness-in-excess, and engage in the work and people, while being enthusiasts and people of great kindness” (16personalities, 2015). It is pretty common for the ISJF person to …show more content…

The Kiersey Temperament Test shows that I am of an ISJF personality which is characterized by an introvert with a reflective communication style. As an introvert, I have many disciplines capabilities that include perfectionism and procrastination. As a reflective communication stylist, I admire orderliness and naturally appear formal and stiff. No one way of communication is the best so I hope to modify some of my ISJF traits to enable me be more versatile when dealing with any situation especially during

    Having completed the Myers-Briggs Personality Test previously, I was identified as an INTP, which stands for introverted, intuitive, thinking, and perceiving. Accordingly, this personality is often labeled as “The Architect” or “The Logician.” Despite my previous results, I repeated the test as instructed in the assignment. Consequently, based on the outcome of the test, my personality has altered in the past year. Thus, my updated results based on this analysis were, INTJ (introverted, intuitive, thinking, and judging). However, the two personalities are similar, as only one trait seems to have varied. Therefore, instead of holding a characteristic grounded in perception, it would appear that I am inclined to mannerisms that indicate

    This Communications Style Inventory provided an accurate reflection of my communication style for the majority of the time. I would argue my communication style is dependent on the situation. When I communicate with students, I tend to take on the role of supporter/relator. I listen to their problems and tailor my reactions to their emotions. When I am with friends, I am a promoter/socializer. I still value building those relationships, but they often do not require the emotional support the students need. Although controller and Analyzer are my lease score traits, I do use those qualities when I need to be direct or need to work by myself.

The information that I absorbed from the personality test and from the book will go into use in my personal and work life so that both environments will be cohesive and peaceful.

    However, first and most important to identify and study my own personal preferences. Kroeger (2002) said “the whole process starts with understanding yourself” (Kroeger, 2002). He then goes on to describe INTJs as self confident, balanced, intelligent, independent, and competent (Kroeger, 2002). Typology has helped me to recognize the strengths of my personality but also the weaknesses. INTJs can lack in interpersonal skills, communication, asking for help, and teaching. They can sometimes come off as controlling and arrogant. For example, we recently put in new machinery at work which required each of us to have additional training. As a INTJ, I welcomed the change and quickly adapted the new technology. However, it was hard for me to be sensitive to the needs of other coworkers who did not understand the new technology and training and needed more time to

    My initial reaction to the personality test we took was surprising, I was surprised to see how much I had not changed since the last time I took the test. I took the same test last year, I took it in Future Focus the second trimester. Although it was only a year ago, many things can change in a year and the results could’ve changed from last year to this year. They didn’t so that’s good, well at least for me, its nice to know I'm consistent in my personality; most importantly it’s great to know that I haven’t had any outside influence that dramatically changed who I was. As any other man made thing, the personality description in my views is wrong in some areas. ISFJs as described by the article are very private about all their own personal feelings, thoughts, opinions, everything in general. I don’t keep all my emotions, problems, thoughts, or opinions to myself; I have a support group composed of my closest family, and friends. It would be very difficult to live that way, but I guess it is also in there for a reason. Overall the article was very accurate in their descriptio...

The assessment stated that ISFJs frequently find themselves in occupations that either involves a lot of dealings with other people and require thoroughness and persistence. They work in organizations of various sizes and industries, where as a rule they work with people. Very often ISFJs recognize their potential in healthcare (nurse, patient care, and medical services, as well as administrative jobs) and several community care organizations. I do agree with some of the Jung Typology Seal assessments. I agree with being an introvert since I am a person that is reserved and to myself half of the time, but, on the other hand, I do like to serve others. I do not agree that I am overworked. If I get to the point to where I feel overworked, I will go to my boss and discuss the matter, so that I can get help with my work before resulting in some of extent psychosomatic illnesses. I agree with the part about working best with a small group or one-on-one situation.

    The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) has recognized my profile as Introvert, Intuitive, Thinking and Judgment (INTJ). As an introvert, I can get nervous among other people. It does not pose a problem for an individual. On the other hand, in order to be an effective leader, it is important for me to keep a profound communicational relationship with my subordinates. Without proper communication skills, it is not possible to establish a functional relationship with my subordinates. This may jeopardize the success of any activity that we are involved in. The introvert part is perhaps the major barrier which may keep me away from being an effective leader.

    Being instrumental reflective has more weaknesses than strength. By interviewing three people with different communication styles, I realize the tendency and pattern of my own style. I identify the reflective side as the “real me” because I use it most of the time. It serves as a good listener along normal conversation with friends and family members because conflict seldom happens through this approach. The only weakness for the reflective side is lack of confidence when I communicate at workplace. The instrumental side appears only when there are conflicts and problems that need to be resolved. The above example from Enesha and Kathy clearly explains how I change to instrumental in a sudden.
